Troubleshooting

Overview

Dot missing and
mixed colors

Although inks are ejected
from the Print Head to the
Cap, the trouble still occurs
after executing a cleaning
cycle or replacing the Ink
Cartridges.

Print Head

1. Run a Nozzle Check, and check the printed pattern if it has

broken lines or missing segments.

1. After running a Head Cleaning, check the

Nozzle Check Pattern again.

2. Check that the Head FFC is securely connected to the

Print Head Connector and Main Board Connectors CN11,
CN12, CN13, and CN14.

2. Connect the Head FFC to the Print Head

Connector and Main Board Connectors
CN11, CN12, CN13, and CN14.

3. Check if the Head FFC is not damaged.

3. Replace the Head FFC with a new one.

If the trouble still occurs after replacing it,
replace the Print Head with a new one.

Ink System Unit
Cleaner Blade

1. Check if the Cleaner Blade is covered with paper dust or is

bent.

1. Replace the Ink System Unit with a new

one.

Main Board

1. Check the Main Board for damages.

1. Replace the Main Board with a new one.
